A mark or dark spot is appearing on all images

\015 I have just noticed that a dark spot is appearing on all of my images. For how long this has been happening is less clear, but the snow has sure brought it to my attention. I believe the lens of my Finpix E900 is clean and fear it may be on the sensor. On the rear preview screen the spot becomes smaller or perhaps I should say more in focus when the zoom is used. Further examination reveals that if I turn on the digital zoom (10x) and zoom in the mark grows in size and moves towards the bottom of the screen, until it finally disappears off the bottom of the view screen at 10x.I have posted a visual example at: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/gallery/14073/61368 \015

Answers :

That's quite a spot! Yes, I believe it is on your sensor. It could be one of the following: dirt, a spot from moisture condensing on the sensor after bringing a cold camera into a warm house, or mold. It can be cleaned but I imagine it will be expensive since the camera will have to be disassembled. I don't know how much you paid for it or how long you've owned it, but if the cost will be too high, it might be time to think about a new camera. Or, you could live with it and use Photoshop Elements to remove the spot on photos you want to show off to friends.

I have a Canon EOS 400D. Photographs are appearing with what looks like round marks or bubbles in the image. I've cleaned and changed the lenses but it still appears. I am wary about cleaning inside the camera and especially the sensor but feel I have to because that appears to be where the mark originates. any advice please

Suddenly the pictures I take with my Lumix DMC-ZS3 have dark, shadowy, relatively circular spots on them. The spots are more noticeable when I zoom in. The spots are always in the same places on my images. This is my favorite camera of all time and I very distressed over this issue. I suspect dust has collected somewhere inside the lens where I can not get at it. I have gently cleaned the outside surface of the lens and have blown it off with compressed air but the problem persists, What c

I have a Canon Camcorder MV750i purchased april 2004
It was not used for a few weeks when it was turned on it was able to playback but no image appeared on the screen when it was turned on.
The various modes were displayed and in the middle of the screen were white marks indicating the corner of the image.

When i turn the camera to take a photo, no image appears in the LCD or the eyepiece. this just happened all the sudden. I am able to view pictures that I've already taken in the LCD and the LCD will also give me the menus, picture count, everything that you would expect to see except the image that you want to take a picture of.
i tried to take a picture, but the screen was just black as well.
any and all help will be appreciated!
thanks, mark

Just this week-end, i experienced something similar with my s5000. the playback function works correctly, however when you switch to'shoot' mode, the lens does not extend & there is no image on the screen. could this be a damaged CCD as well, or poss ...

It's dust on the sensor. Never changing the lens does not guarantee that you will never get dust on the sensor. The lens and the lens mount are not airtight. Especially with zoom-lenses you pump air in and out of the lens and the chamber. It's also q ...

Shadow's A small shadow appears on my images as I view the finished pic on my screen flashing on the dark areas of my pics. How can I fix this problem? CJ

When I take a photo with my Nikon D90 in auto mode and flash i get a dark spot on the bottom of the image on the lcd that resembles a shadow. there is no shadow in the picture. What is casuing this?

This is more than likely a shadow from your lens. The on-camera flash is in a fairly low position, and I am able to duplicate your description when using my D200 on-camera flash and a physically longer lens- in my case a 28-70 F2.8 lens. Using a hot- ...

Image cluoding I was noticing a clouding in the central area of all of my pictures when using my Olympus c700. Opun close examination of the lens it showed what appeared to be an abraided or deteriorated area on the interior of the lens. Is it possible to get a a new lens for these things or polish it up with something? I know Olympus is not servicing them anymore and they are discontinued. Thanks, Mark

Based on what you report the camera would need to be serviced. Regretfully all parts, accessories and repair service have been discontinued due to the age of the camera. \015\012You may refer to the yellow pages for local camera repair centers ...
